By the halfway point Bruer had forced his way up to second on the tight track and set his sights on the leader. La te in the race Parker stalled his machine on top of a berm and Bruer was able to squeeze past for the win. Parker held on for second with Pol· . son finishing third. Ed Kiley put his Santa Rosa Yamaha·sponsored Yamaha YZ250 out front in both Pro mOlOS ana rode to unchallenged wins. With Kiley in the lead, Mike Williams, Russell Grater, and long time racer Billy Sexton staged a battle for the runner-up money in the second mota. Early in the race Williams held down second followed by a high· flying Sexton. Grater went down on a rough straight and had to push his Kawasaki to the limits in an all out effort to get back in the hunt. Sexton pressured Williams for the entire race, but had to settle for third. Grater mounted a last lap charge that put him on the heels of Sexton at the flag.

Byrd purloined first place trophies in the Heavyweight Superbike. Unlimited Superbike and Formula I classes with runaway win in eacll. Turning lap times in tbe high 1:09 range, Kelly simply had no competition. "I called Kye (Gunn) and Walt (Nitta) and I thought they would be here but they're at Willow. That would have been fun," said Kelly. In other racing, the Stock Production event featured all [our displace· ment classes. Gridded for a single wave start, Suzuki GSXRlIOO-mounted Mike Williams led through the first turn. Rick Williams used his Kawasaki 600 Ninja to pass Mike on lap two in turn nine but the Suzuki rider just dialed up a little more steam and ran away leaving Williams to deal with Scott Willock's Yamaha FZ600. Willock shadowed the fleeing patrolman for the remainder of the 15-lap sprint and took third overall at the flag. About 10 seconds ·back, Michae I Howe and Bart Beninati on 600s diced all race long with Dan Brown's Yamaha FJllOO and Tim Sheehy's Yamaha RZ350. Brown led most of the laps but Beninati finally got a wheel in front of the big Yamaha to take fourth overall. Howe followed Beninati around to fifth overall. A Iarg.e spectator turnout saw Anthony Sanchez pull out all the stops on his turbocharged Kawasaki GPz750 to win the Novice race in a . convincing fashion. Adam Avechuca ran a strong second until he locked the front brake and crashed in turn one, handing second to Jim Derosa. The Vintage class race saw John Scott engage Craig Skinner in an exciting dice. Scott rode his Triumph 750 to victory turning I: 18 laps, while Craig Skinner took second on his very fast Triumph Trident. Mick Frew took third a little way ba& with his Yamaha SRSOO after crashing hard in practice. In the newly instituted Supersport class it was Rob Leatham grabbing the lead ahead of Rick Williams, Carlo Rao, James Cox and John KnolC. Williams smoked by Leatham in the infield to lead lap four with COx in third and Rao in fourth. The order remained the same until lae seven when Cricket Diethelm clipped the turn four hay bales and ·crashed. Leathem pulled up behind Williams during the yellow flag lap and then blew past on his Kawasaki 900 Ninja to take the overall win. Williams held pat in second while Knox fought his way past Rao and then Cox to take third at the finish. Kelly Bird led the first lap of the Unlimited Superbike race with Dave Coons and Mike Williams in tow. Byrd pulled away leaving Coons to hold off Williams. Coons' bike started running bad on lap six and Williams' took over second place. Byrd stTeaked to the overall win by 40 seconds over Williams, Thomas and Utley. Results NOV: 1.
